WQWFW l - 'tiiff all I 'def TERM OF '25 AND '26 There were forty in all, When the roll the teacher did call, That Iirst day of school When everybody had trouble keeping cool. There wa.sn't much school the first week, Every evening the boys hunted up the creek, But the following weeks, things weren't the same, And school was not so slow and tame. 'Tis getting near the end of the month, said Miss Haines, And by this time, you should be using your brains. We got our report cards as our names she did call, And Oh my! Miss Haines said, baseball was the cause of it all. Before we realized it, we had a basketball team, And Oh how good it did seem To go to the games at night, And see our team put up a stiff fight, We had a Christmas program one- afternoon, And all knew Santa would be here soon, Then we had a holiday of a week, And some of the pupils tried skating on the creek. The Farmers' Institute was the 11ext We had, And all the school children were glad, Because all we had to do was sing And perhaps, get a prize on something. In the spring we took a hike, And wandered where we liked, And if given a chance we lagged behind, To see what we could find. And then the county exam, was not far off, And you know it wasn't a bit soft, And we had to study so hard, That it seemed our brains were nothing but lard. And after that school will be closed, And then I reckon the weeds must be hoedg And all through the day plow the corn, And in the evening do the work at the barn. PAUL CHADWICK 1926
